So far, not so good. The readings that we've had in class have been somewhat bland. I am not too terribly interested in the historical texts that have been assigned. For me, personally, it seems like Kunkle is cracking a whip rather than assigning homework.
However, as a nice contrast to the historical writings, Common Sense popped up. This has been the first reading that I actually read. What I mean is that I didn't skim each paragraph trying to get the main idea; I went through each paragraph picking out the minute details.
The writing style seemed so much smoother than the others. Thomas Paine linked ideas together very well without compromising anything. His statements seemed logical in comparison to John Edwards. When I finished reading it, I actually felt like I learned something; everything flowed and it was very comprehensive.

ReplyDeleteI crack the whip because I know you can do it!
I'm glad you were into "Common Sense," Zach. How did Gatsby go for you?
